Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Community Health Worker Home-visits
Completed
Conditions studied: COPD
In brief
We examined a Community Health Worker (CHW) program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Veteran Participants. The goal of this study was to assess participants' perceived acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention, explore participants' COPD health outcomes, and gather insights from participants and CHWs to inform potential improvements. Veteran participants enrolled in the 12-week intervention and received a series of 9 CHW home, phone, or video visits. These visits provided education and chronic disease self-management practices to improve COPD health. Researchers examined the participant and CHW perception of the intervention through qualitative interviews and surveys.
